Overview

The Mt. Irish Archaeological District is a large area with many boulder piles and low bands of cliffs covered with rock art. Shaman Knob is one of the major public petroglyph sites in the district and consists of an isolated boulder pile. Native peoples etched an extensive array of nice petroglyphs on the rocks. The BLM placed four numbered markers around the site, and the BLM and Lincoln County each produced brochures describing the numbered rock art panels (BLM brochure; Lincoln County brochure).

The parking area between Shaman Knob and Shaman Hill is one of the better campsites in the area.

While visiting this site, please take care of the area and leave it as you found it for the enjoyment of future generations.

The sign-in register (Table 1, Site SK-Register) is adjacent to the parking area, and from the register, Marker #1 (Site SK-01) is to the left in front of the knob, and Markers 2-4 (Sites SK-02, SK-03, SK-04) are around the rock to the right.
